erage in his studies before he tries to do too many other things, or he will be neglecting his work - the real thing he comes to school for. Students should also cooperate with one another in actual school work. Ix one puoil is studying , others should not see how just how much noise they can make to disturb his. And it is not fair'to have one pupil study and do his work only to have someone else copy his papers. Copying nay help a pupil for one day's work, but it will not help at test time. If a person does his own work, he will know more, feel better, and be ready to let other people study when they choose. Rachel Streeter '42 Friendship How many friends do ycu think you have? If this question were put to you , what would you say? You would probably answer fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five. You might be right , but I question it. Are them really your friends?How many would you really trust? How many of them would you confide a secret to, and would they keen it if you did? I doubt if all of them would. These people are not your enemies. They probably wouldn't go out of their way to hurt you, but would they help you? Some would and some ’wouldn't. There are many so called friends. These friends are the type that I don t like. If you' £re in trouble or nearly down and out,I don't believe that you would find many of those so called friends by your side. They would be gone.

A real friend ’.Till go out of his way to help another, any neople show little courtesies ani do little things for others if it is easy to do so but they thirl: that they would gain nothing by going out of their way to be hind. Of course they are right in thinking that it- is not necessary, but they would gain something by doing it. I think they would have a feeling of having done something good. That is a fine feeling to have. Be a friend and find ou.b, Tebster says a friend is a person who has a special attachment for another. The next time you think you are a friend or think you have one, see if you have a feeling of affection for him. If you have the chances are that you are a friend he would like to have.

And feeling so lazy today, '•Vishing that school were over, And I were far away. My mind just seems to wander; For Shakespeare, I don't give a hoot, 7 hy didn't he write plain English? Oh! I'd like to give his book a boot. I think of the clear, cool water In the dear old swimming pool. And wish I were afishing And didn’t have to go to school. I have studied for eight long months And would like a little break; I'd like to tell the teachers To take a jump in the lake. Richard 'Teld '44 The Farm Life on a farm is all for me. To ride a horse and yell, .Thoopee . The horses to ’water, the cows to feed. Just call on me if it's help you need Melting snows and running brooks, Green grass and flowers new, Length'ning days and warmer nights, And birds will come then too. Robins, bluebirds, sparrows, wrens. And bobolinks there'll be. Spring will bring these birds to sing In onegreat melody. Spreading out in meadows new The dandelion will come. Peeping out in woodland vales Will be bright adder tongue. Here and there the signs of spring Will come and then they'll fade. Summer ones will take their place In field and woodland glade. Phebe 'Vestcott '45 I'll help you milk or spread the lime, I'll water the horses just all the time. I like to work on a country farm, ■•There work with play does you no harm. Marion ’.Test '43
